  This is still quite stalky but the stalkiness is receding and becoming pleasant spiciness, as it does. Behind that really lovely deep forest fruits are starting to dominate. Really nice minerality.
  On the palate this is still stalky, but again it’s evolving. Lots of acidity, intense pure fruit, appetising tannins. Nice balance.
  I think I’ve finished this 6-pack now: definitely too young but very encouraging for the other Feuillet/Duband wines i own.

  I last had this a year ago and it was awkward and disjointed then. It remains so, but there are signs of harmony. Stalkiness still dominates, but a rather attractive sweet strawberry fruit character is emerging behind. As before it lacks nothing in energy and persistence so I’m still intrigued to see where this will go.
  Edit: with air and time this does come together a bit, the sweet fruit overcomes the stalky structure. Quite promising for the future.
